Wavelength Shifters for Water Cherenkov Detectors
Xiongxin Dai, Etienne Rollin, Alain Bellerive +4
The light yield of a water-based Cherenkov detector can be significantly improved by adding a wavelength shifter. Wavelength shifter (WLS) molecules absorb ultraviolet photons and…
Systematic study of trace radioactive impurities in candidate construction materials for EXO-200
D. S. Leonard, P. Grinberg, P. Weber +54
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) will search for double beta decays of 136Xe. We report the results of a systematic study of trace concentrations of radioactive impurities in a…
A linear RFQ ion trap for the Enriched Xenon Observatory
B. Flatt, M. Green, J. Wodin +39
The design, construction, and performance of a linear radio-frequency ion trap (RFQ) intended for use in the Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) are described. EXO aims to detect the…
A liquid xenon ionization chamber in an all-fluoropolymer vessel
EXO Collaboration, F. LePort, A. Pocar +42
A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of ultra-clean fluoropolymer. We describe the advantages in terms of low ra…
